Yesterday dad and mom met with her "team" at TIRR. She was scheduled to be discharged on Tuesday and they have decided to extended that until the 1st of May. We were really happy that she is going to stay because she is getting 5 hours of therapy a day, and for the first time is probably really benefiting from all of the exercises. Regarding her physical status, she is still not able to straighten her leg all of the way, so the therapists are working hard on her range of motion in that right leg. She is standing up and did tell me yesterday that she walked a short distance, when I asked her how it was she told me, "not as easy as it used to be." Hopefully the the next few weeks she will just thrive in both her physical and mental status. She is going to her neurosurgeon today to get her stitches out from the shunt, I am sure he is going to be thrilled to finally meet Luisa.
We are going to Houston tomorrow, so stay tuned for a video. I can't wait to share that with each of you.
Fondly,
LuBob's Family

Great news! Lu will be up and running in no time with the extended PT she's getting. Looking forward to the weekend video. She sounded great on the phone this week, asking questions and all. I'll get to visit the first weekend in May. Looking forward to a long walk down the hall!
Love ya Lu,
Jan
